Could it be that forgiveness does not “work” for some people because they do not experience any relief? I am kind of feeling this way toward my boss. He is too abrupt with me.
When this occurs, I suggest: 1) allowing the person more time to forgive; if that doesn’t work, 2) attempting to see whether the one who acted unjustly reminds you of someone else who needs your forgiveness. For instance, is it possible that your struggle to forgive your boss is related to your unforgiveness of someone else? For example, is it possible that you have issues with forgiveness towards your father? If so, then I advise you to first forgive your father. Your resentment toward your father then does not interfere with your ability to forgive the boss when you turn your attention to it. This is just an example, as I am unsure if you have any issues with your father that require your forgiveness.
